Announce: Saint of Chains - Official Reveal & Wishlist Now Open!
[p]Hey horror fans! Bobby here from MystiveDev, [/p][p]the two-brother indie studio behind Mirror Forge and Chasmal Fear. [/p][p]After pouring our souls into retro nightmares, we're beyond thrilled to finally unveil Saint of Chains – our latest retro psychological survival horror FPS, hitting Steam on March 17, 2026!
[/p][p]Inspired by the haunting vibes of Silent Hill 2 and 3, the gritty melee of Condemned: Criminal Origins, and the raw dread of Cry of Fear and Lost in Vivo, this is pure PS2/Xbox360-era horror.
[/p][p]Taste of a gritty, symbolic world where you fight monsters embodying deeper fears like guilt, loss, and isolation. With scarce weapons (pipes, axes, bats, pistols, shotguns etc.), twisted puzzles tied to the protagonist's trauma, and atmospheres that ooze rust, flesh, and rot – every step feels fragile, every swing matters.

Why You'll Be Chained to This Nightmare:[/h2][p][/p]
- [p]Brutal, Scarce Combat: Melee or firearm? Choose wisely. Reloading costs bullets, they are quite scarce and enemies stagger and lunge. Survival isn't guaranteed.[/p]
- [p]Symbolic Monsters: Not just foes, but symbolic representations of a deeper, more primal emotion.[/p]
- [p]Atmospheric Exploration: Haunt apartments whispering secrets, sewers reeking of dread, and an asylum where walls hum with unseen watchers. Retro visuals mean mood over polish – Silent Hill dread in every shadow.[/p]
- [p]Uncanny, yet personal puzzles[/p]
- [p]Inventory & Inventory Management[/p]
- [p]Old-School Feels: Stamina that betrays you, jump-and-crouch to climb mechanics, and a chilling industrial soundtrack to amp the tension.[/p]
